• Get Up Kid Pryor to Join Other Emo Frontmen on Acoustic Tour

  Things have been busy lately in the Get Up Kamp. First, an impromptu reunion show, and now Matt Pryor's taking his bird on tour. From the PR wire. Where's The Band? is a tour featuring solo acoustic performances by the frontmen of four successful groups. Dustin Kensue (of Thrice), Matt Pryor (of The Get Up Kids), Chris Conley (of Saves The Day) and Anthony Raneri (of Bayside) will cross the country for a run of headline shows, sharing the van and, perhaps, sharing the stage with each other f

• Incoming: Franz Ferdinand at the Beaumont

  I said you don't know. You said don't you know. I said ... take me out. To Franz Ferdinand. April 27. The Beaumont. It's not up yet on the group's MySpace, but a not unreliable source tells us it is so. I wish they were playing just about anywhere than the Breaumont, but I'll survive. More dates and the best video of the year so far after the jump.

The festival is held by Columbus radio station 99.7 The Rock featuring 38 bands over two days, and would be comparable to our Rockfest with about half the crowd. Leo Project played the

• Report: KC's elite hot for some NHL action

  As the Sprint Center gradually loses its new arena smell, the odds of Kansas City landing an NHL or NBA team seem more remote. But one booster is making sure that KC at least looks poised to snatch up the next hockey team willing to relocate.A weekly newspaper in Columbus, Ohio, The Other Paper, ran a story earlier this month suggesting that Kansas City was "the dame at the end of the bar ... making eyes at" the Columbus Blue Jackets of the NHL. Delighted with the metaphor, the writer of the sto
